They are quite dinky...

This evening I've been mostly tidying up rough edges - will make a start on the V-beams tomorrow.

Great and fast work with the shield gate!

Thanks all...it feels like everytime I take tiny steps forward, I seem to add more things to the "to-do" list.

Some minor detailing out of card...

A start on the anti-ship guns, which still need tidying up...

...and a start on the V beams, six down twenty-two more to go. Once I've added the facing to the hoop, it should hide the untidy finish on the beams.

Ooh, me likey. Now to do one in 1/1000 scale about 2 meters across.

That's the sort of progress that gets Deathstars built. Vader would be pleased with your efforts!

You are certainly cracking on with this*.

My first thought was that if I get stuck, and run out of time, was to add a tiny Darth Vader, inspecting the lack of progress and call it a diorama...

Just found the missing hoop, so I can get on with the next stage.

Looking great! The precision required for this to look correct is probably beyond my patience but I certainly appreciate it in others,

Great work on the V struts.

I can't see any pencil marks: are you working by eye?

All by eye. The hoops aren't perfectly round, so there is a substantial degree of "making it fit".

I made a few test pieces and measured it all out by trial error, to come up with something that looks ok.
